Last night after the competition about 30 of us went out partying in a larger
town near the camp called Manresa. A few locals guided all of us, including
Cesar down to an underground night club. We all danced and drank Redbull until
they kicked us out at closing around 4 am. I have to say, Cesar better keep
riding because he's not the greatest dancer. It doesn't matter though, he still
left well accompanied that night.

I spoke to Cesar as well about our plan to have a different, very big type
of BikeTrials competition in the States and that we wanted to have him be present.
He said "yes, I will come, ask Pedro". I mentioned Nelson Reis to
him, and he said he had not heard of any Nelson. I told him that many had compared
Nelson to him as far as riding the HUGE moves. He seemed in doubt about that ..The
man is cool and takes his riding VERY serious, I didn't see him drink much that
night, he was probably thinking of his next competition the following weekend.

Most everyone left on Monday, JJ took off with the British Team. Mike, Shaun
and I took a train to Barcelona. It was extremely difficult hauling all those
bikes and luggage in a taxi and train. I twisted my knee again the night before
dancing, Shaun had injured his junk on a zip line slide and Mike had his wrist
fractured recently. We all looked crippled walking huge bags down town Barcelona
looking for a hotel. It took us 3 hours to get settled in a little hotel called
Loret right on the busiest street of the city. We had a great time in Barcelona
the city is awesome and Mike turned out to be a very cool guy to hang with.

We rode all around downtown and finally the police threatened to take our bikes,
so that was the end of that! The next day, I was out of there and flew back
home to get serious again about my work. The boys stayed another night and left
at 5 am yesterday for the tour bus to take them to France. The second round
of the BIU Worlds is this weekend. Lets hope everything goes well with all our
guys
